School, Education, Teachers and Miscellaneous: Drunk with power

Drunk with power

By fannylover - 18/02/2010 20:12 - United States

Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them".

Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher; I've already given students detention for falling asleep in class this year. FML

Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML

Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML

Today, I got detention from my teacher for not handing an assignment in. It would be understandable if I hadn't handed it in a week before it was due. She won't listen to reason. FML

Today, during a class, I noticed some racist statements and symbols on a table. While erasing them, I bent down to pick up my dropped pencil. I look back up to see a teacher, and got a suspension. FML

Today, I got sent to detention for saying, "That's what she said" after a girl in my class said, "Push a little harder" while dissecting a frog. FML

Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML

Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML

Today, I saw some pretty heinous graffiti on the urinal stall at school, so I opted to scribble it out. A supervisor came in the second the pen touched the stall. Now I have detention and have to scrub the entire stall clean as a "lesson". FML

...somethings never change. a teacher in the classroom is like Joesph Stalin. if you stand up to him/her, you will disappear.

You know, I'm not a huge fan of snickerdoodles. But I don't understand why people think it's such a huge insult to call her "ginger." I mean, does that honestly bother her? I'm a bit out of the loop here.

FYL, OP. You have a very ignorant teacher. Doesn't she think that maybe some people are smart enough to finish the work before class is over? Or does she just assume that each person in your class is a total dumbass? Any reasonable teacher would have simply asked to see the completed work for proof.

Don't worry about it. I mean, contest it if you really feel like it, but it has no consequence besides making your teacher feel better about him/herself. It's not like colleges or jobs care about detentions, and if you explain to your parents then, assuming they're rational people, they probably won't care. My school has an attendance policy that if you're late more than 3 times to a class you get detention. I have a disability that sometimes renders me immobile which can make getting to class on time a ridiculous task. They gave me detention and didn't give a crap what my excuse was. It wasn't more than an insult to my dignity and a waste of my afternoon. Best just to laugh it off.

Colleges may not care, but quite a few scholarships do.

Trust me, I applied to plenty of scholarships (and got several), and not one of them asked if I had ever served detention. They all asked if I had ever been suspended or expelled, but detentions don't matter.
